We had cyrious. As a software engineer I could not understand how something could be so expensive and so buggy at the same time. I would say just get estimate + quickbooks. Thats what everyone else seems to be doing. Although I would like to ask, why are you shying away from cloud software?

So I fired a customer recently. This probably isnt the best way to go about this but I did it. she comes in gives a deposit and keeps saying she wants to be WOWED! I want to be BLOWN AWAY! she doesnt know what she wants even if i try to get a vague description. Classic Hits like What does...

Here here, You will always lose a percentage of your bids. A good way to tell if youre pricing is accurate too.

That type of foresight was lost at the shops I worked at. We used cyrious and sometimes ended up charging $50 for cutting 24"x 24" piece of foamboard the customer brought in or $30 for installing 2 grommets in a banner that the customer got from us. Software is a great help I think but a lot of...

Used Signimate + Quickbooks but getting ready to toss those two in favor of our own system custom built. Been working on it since early last year. Signimate i have to say is not worth the money and what was prompted me to make something better. Besides being a Cyrious Software mouthpiece...

That is a wonderful idea, that last part is spot on. A big reason that was my old job and not my current was because for all the work I did without mistakes I was charged hundreds of dollars for the one that got away.

then you take the finger XD

There are tons of details in this business and someone is bound to make a mistake. How do you guys deal with the loss. My old job did salary deductions for mistakes which for some people turned into indentured servitude.

I actually liked the comic, it was well drawn and got the point across. Very talented staff. As for the message they have two versions of the software; cloudbased and not. Why complain about an option that you dont have to take. Now if it was mandatory thats a different story. Its not a...

roland re-640 This macjine is our workhorse. Almost two years since we got it, not a single breakdown and runs all day, every day. We've left prints overnight and come back confident the job will be done.

I was wondeirng the same thing, I think they just go back into the plane/helicopter they came from.

this thing looks like a wonderful way to die. You couldnt get me to jump off a porch let alone try that thing. The whole dubai thing sounds nice though. Too bad I need to be making 10x what I do to actually live there lol :banghead: On a side note that video quality is, phew wow pretty damn...

I'm a big roland fan so I'm gonna say go with the roland. Things been running for 2 years strong without almost ever turning off and havent had a problem yet. Not to mention the speed and quality of prints. Though I did visit the local signarama for some contract installs and I saw their HP...

:popcorn: I just spent an hour not working because of this thread. Flexi is already costing me money. Thanks SAi. I actually don't think its that bad of an idea, lest i be ganged up upon the perpetual payment masses lol. Forking over $50/month for a year or two for the software you want/need...

firstly, as a software engineer myself the system you're talking about seems really specific. You could find software that does each of the things you're requesting but finding one that does all would prove difficult. If there is one I can only imagine what type of fees they have slapped on, in...

shwibam! couldnt help myself

Yeah this will happen a lot if your settings arnt calibrated for your printer / rip. Our local cable company has tons of light boxes around the place and we do a new batch for em every month. Were running rolad and versaworks but im sure you can find the settings in whatever youre using...

I like the ink blot as well, maybe tone it down a bit? The copy & super stylized inkblot remind me of a Surf shop rather than a pen company.

Get a spray on sealer from a hardware store. I used to use them to protect my highschool artwork but they should work for this too. They work, last a good whole and a couple cans for a couple bucks problem solved. You're welcome :Big Laugh
